Allegri's famous Miserere. Composed for the Papal Choir and traditionally performed exclusively at the Vatican during the Holy Week. Legends abound surrounding the secrecy enveloping the choir's repertoire, its skill in improvising ornamentation and how death might ensue if certain works were removed or copied by choir members or visitors. Death was an unlikely vengeance from the Vatican, but even the threat of excommunication didn't deter the 14 year-old Mozart, who copied the Miserere after a single hearing in 1770. Quartet: Grace Davidson and Julia Doyle, sopranos, Ben Turner, alto and Matthew Brook, bass.
BBC Music Magazine. Choice of the Month; Gramophone: 'Tenebrae, whose beauty of sound is matched by clarity of distinction'.
